Bytec Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 As far as I know µTorrent puts a priority to the first and the last piece of every file. Azureus have a feature to prioritize most complete file, but decision is made by "done percentage" not "count of remaining bytes". I would be wery happy if µTorrent put a higher priority to those files where "count of remaining bytes" is less, so I have 100% of file sooner.P.S. Sorry for my english. Not my native language.

Xilon Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 hmm I'm definitely for an option to download the most complete but i'm not too sure about the remaining bytes part. It would be cool to have an option to download the most complete or download the smallest most complete file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to have an option to download the most complete or download the smallest most complete file.That's exactly what I'm saying. Download the smallest files first. So if I have 2 files and both of them are 83% complete, but remaining part of file1 is 2MB, but remaining part of file2 is 512KB then file2 gets higher priority.

shr Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I like the way it is done in eMulePlus, you can autoprio the task depending on number of sources. I guess it is better to do the same for uTorrent with only 1 change, number of complete sources i.e. seeds. For example assignLow for seeds > 15Normal for > 5 and < 15High for seeds < 5In eMulePlus it is tunable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

µtorrent-Guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 @niksus in this case you can change the downloading priority in the files tab from normal for all the files to high for this special one. Thsi will do what you want afai think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

µtorrent-Guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 #7 technical background for that?Afaik all you do is asking for the priorised piece earlier/faster/moreoften(?) than the other "normal" pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 And screw up the rarest piece preferencing causing piece availability skews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demono Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 This is the biggest feature missing from utorrent in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_g Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I'll add my voice to this, a quick way to give priority to torrents sorted by the amount remaining would be really handy.(maybe with an option to make it consider the number of seeds in the priority weighting)If i want to pull down a realitivly small file i would rather it be done and out of the d/l list and into the seeding list sooner (and i can use it sooner) then it being stuck behind large files which may have days/gb's remaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
